www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-10-18/the-nightmare-of-donald-trump-grabbing-at-the-presidency A Consistent Appeal to Fear and Hate Donald Trump's campaign has become a living national nightmare. By Mortimer B. Zuckerman / www.usnews.com/topics/author/mortimer-b-zuckerman / Chairman, Editor-in-Chief / Mortimer Zuckerman is the chairman and editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report and the publisher of the New York Daily News. Oct. 18, 2016 The nightmare continues, only now it is in 3-D wherever you look. I am revolted to hear someone brag about sexually assaulting a woman. I am especially revolted as a father of two daughters to hear it from a man who might be president, for that office uniquely depends on moral authority. First lady Michelle Obama said she had been "shaken ... to my core in a way I couldn't have predicted." She did not name Donald Trump and didn't have to. She just went to the heart of the matter: "This isn't about politics. It's about basic human decency. It's about right and wrong." That's the point, one which Trump seems incapable of grasping. In the second debate he denied ever acting on his "locker room talk." It was this affirmation that provoked several women to end their years of silence and speak out about his coarse sexual aggression. In different ways, but with unsettling consistency, they independently said that he acted very much as he spoke in the "Access Hollywood" tour bus. "He was like an octopus. His hands were everywhere," is the testimony of Jessica Leeds, who told The New York Times she was seated next to him years ago on a flight when she was 38. Leeds, at 74 today, impresses with her calm, dignified demeanor on CNN. It took some courage to speak out so. Donald Trump has angrily denounced Leeds and all the other women as fabricators. His campaign team depicts the stories as political maneuvers timed to damage his campaign just weeks before national voting. But Trump did not leave it at that. He insulted and demeaned the women. He derided their physical appearances, saying of one accuser: "Believe me, she would not be my first choice." His outburst was as unwise as it was ungracious. It cannot but deepen the impression that he has a psychological problem with women. It was documented in a 4,700-word investigation by The New York Times. He told his female employees that they needed to lose weight; he would ask women he was dating to rate (on a scale of 1 to 10) those with whom he had been previously involved; he would even admire his own daughter's figure: "She's hot, right?" And other sources have said he walked in on disrobing beauty pageant contestants. The new allegations may be tested in a defamation suit he has said he will file against The New York Times. That is his right. If he really wants, he can have his day in court to prove that he is the victim of a smear campaign by the sinister forces that haunt his imagination. By that time he will be president of the United States. Or he won't. But if he is, he'd be without precedent. He would be a president who in many years apparently paid little if anything in federal income taxes. He would be a president who hasn't served in the military. He would be a president rounding up 11 million people when not preoccupied with the trade wars, a recipe for recession rather than for new American jobs. He'd be busy ballooning the budget deficit with tax cuts for the wealthy that would not secure America's financial future. Meanwhile, he would be getting rid of the new national health insurance program without offering an alternative to replace it for the millions who depend on it. He would be scuttling the financial reforms and consumer protections borne out of the Great Recession. With help from a reactionary Republican House, he would shelve the Obama administration's progress on the environment, vowing to walk away from the Paris climate agreement on global warming because, he says, climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. In the same way that he talks of knowing more than the generals on fighting the Islamic State group, he thinks knows more on climate change than the consensus of world scientists. He would overrule our military leaders and human rights laws by ordering waterboarding, a torture method in violation of international treaty law. Meanwhile other parts of national life would gather moss in the pending trays – our schools, the war on poverty, our epidemic of gun violence, the community building in black churches and mosques. His most specific domestic policy would be a childcare program which would most benefit the wealthy. And he'd be a president setting out to put Hillary Clinton in jail – like "tin-pot dictators in other parts of the world where when they win an election their first move is to imprison opponents." That's from Michael Chertoff, the former secretary of Homeland Security and head of the Justice Department's criminal division in the George W. Bush administration. In the words of Secretary of State Colin Powell, President Trump would be "an international pariah." But he would be a good friend of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin whose opponents have a convenient way of dying violently. [SEE: Editorial Cartoons on Donald Trump] / www.usnews.com/cartoons/donald-trump-cartoonsFill in the dots of a Trump administration as you wish. The thousands cheering in places like Cincinnati and Ocala, Florida are eager to sign a blank check for a great slogan without doing the budgetary arithmetic to test it. They don't even kick the tires. There has never been such touching faith nor is there likely to be such a burst of anger if the check bounces, as so many did during the collapse of Trump's casinos. Either way, president or not, he'll be in a courtroom, a defendant accused of scamming students who signed on for Trump University courses; of breaking rules for foundations; of stiffing contractors. What kind of people are the Trumpkins unfazed by any of this? What kind of values do they teach their children? Can they both absorb Trump's message and also understand you're not a loser if you speak with respect, grace, kindness and work for change with a humble and open heart? Their eagerness to forget and forgive every transgression is actually less easy to understand than the political calculations of the Republicans who ran away fast when the news broke of Trump's "Access Hollywood" boasting. Those pols just want to keep their jobs. Now some of them crawl back: Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, Rep. Bradley Byrne of Alabama, Rep. Scott Garrett of New Jersey and Newt Gingrich, who is more critical of Speaker Paul Ryan than his tormentor, have all recanted their renunciations. And Mike Pence, alas: He scored well in the vice presidential debate, though he ducked every question on Trump's credibility and now criticizes the media and Clinton for what he calls "a discussion of slander and lies." No profiles in courage here. But more depressing than the cynicism of the office holders, worse than the rally boosters with stars in their eyes but hatred in their hearts, are the moral contortions of political and intellectual thought leaders who defend what they deplore. Mocking the heroism and sacrifices of Arizona Sen. John McCain – unthinkable! Insulting a gold star family – appalling! Accusations of fraud at Trump University – unacceptable! Grabbing charity money for the personal gratification of a portrait – unspeakable! Impersonating the movements of a reporter suffering from arthrogryposis – cruel! Inciting mob violence – regrettable! Siphoning $258,000 in donors' money from his charitable foundation to deal with legal problems, according to The Washington Post – outrageous! Lying about the years of running the racist 'birther' campaign – treason! Proposing to round up 11 million people – Stalinism! [PHOTOS: The Big Picture – September 2016] And yet for some who should know better none of these things is a mortal political sin. So when Eric Metaxas asks in a Wall Street Journal commentary "Should Christians vote for Trump?" his answer is, in effect, "Ahem, mmmm, mmmm, well, yes." Metaxas is the author of a biography of William Wilberforce, the British campaigner to end slavery. How can a writer of such sensibility continue to excuse Trump? He recites stale tales long after they have been investigated and exposed for the poison they are. Well-upholstered paranoid conspiracies have a long life. Anyone with questions is part of the plot, hence Trump's suggestions that the election is "rigged" against him. Metaxas manages to defame Clinton's decades of tireless, brave and renowned work around the world for oppressed women because some money came into the philanthropic Clinton Foundation – awarded an "A" by Charity Watch – from nations (unspecified but guessable) that have treated women and gays worse than dogs. Trump's instincts, one senses, are better than Metaxas'. At one press conference he spoke supportively of Planned Parenthood. The trouble is that he is unstable. In fact Trump has made "128 distinct shifts on 21 major issues" since he started his campaign, according to NBC News, including three contradictory views on abortion in one eight-hour stretch. Indeed, Trump's whole campaign reflects cynical pandering to different political groups with his appeals to fear and hate as the only constant. www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-10-18/the-nightmare-of-donald-trump-grabbing-at-the-presidency

I am hoping that she (Hillary) has learned from these past mistakes what "C" means. It means "Confidential". "C" files should not be placed on a private server. Oops ! My bad. I meant "Classified". In this day and age, there is no room for error. Anyone handling that type of information is Suppose to know that !!! Had she been anyone else, she most likely would have been sentenced..... Yet, she's running for POTUS.....THAT is something to consider !

OK, I said I was done posting political BS on here, but I've just got to say some things. I just hate to see my friends on TEOR end up arguing and getting frustrated with one another, all because of the mess our political system has created. Therefore, I am going to burden you all with one more rant, and offer one more possibility.............
If you want a grumpy old ex-Marine's opinion (which you probably don't), consider this:
The world has become global; by that, I mean that all countries interact with one another much more than they have ever done before.
We can impact our economy, and that of China, Japan, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, etc. just by choosing what we buy. Issues within Islam have driven immigration activity all over the world to a feverish pitch. More and more governments have developed nuclear capabilities.
In the midst of all of this, many Western governments are in shambles. Look at Brazil, look at Germany, consider Brexit, and now, look at the U.S. The Republican party has collapsed. The Democratic party is in an uproar. Our political candidates are charlatans in the purest sense of the word. Politics in this country has evolved into covert activity (no open book here), one-upmanship, deceit, subterfuge. And those who we always counted on for truth and perception, the media, have deteriorated into sleazy agenda promoters.
Shame on us! The American people have stood by and allowed this to happen. We need to step up and demand change--accountability--parliamentary procedure--term limits--BI-PARTISANSHIP--for the good of the American people!
Until that happens, THANK GOD for the Snowdens and the Assanges!
Now, I want you to consider this:Aahh, this friendship goes back a long, long ways!Good ol' golfin' buddies!BFFs! Now consider this: Given her history and personality, there is NO WAY Hillary would defeat ANY OTHER Republican candidate that started this race. She had to have an opponent that measured up even worse than she does. The Donald foots the bill! He will say whatever it takes and behave however he must to insure his friend's victory. That's what long-term pals do.....
Oh, and Sky, you wanted something positive about Mr. Trump? Ok, here it is: "He is a loyal friend who would go thru hell for his buddies."
Have a wonderful day y'all!
Swamprat out

The final presidential debate 2016: What time, how to watch and live stream onlineWATCH HERE:
www.cbsnews.com/news/the-final-presidential-debate-2016-what-time-how-to-watch-and-live-stream-online/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=30132089Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will face off on the debate stage for the third and final time on Wednesday night in Las Vegas. Since their last combative meeting at the second debate, a number of women have come out publicly to accuse Trump of sexually assaulting them -- allegations that Trump has repeatedly denied. Clinton’s campaign, meanwhile, has had to face the daily fallout from thousands of leaked emails made public by WikiLeaks, hacked from the private email account of John Podesta, the campaign’s chairman. This debate will mirror the more traditional staging of the first debate and will be moderated by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. Nevada is one of the major battleground states up for grabs on Nov. 8. Going into the debate, CBS News’ most recent Battleground Tracker poll found Clinton leads Trump. Both candidates squared off at the first debate on Sept. 26 at Hofstra University on Long Island in Hempstead, New York and at the second debate Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. And their running mates met earlier this month in Farmville, Virginia for their debate, which was hosted by CBSN’s Elaine Quijano. As far as the topics for the final debate, Wallace selected debt and entitlements, immigration, economy, Supreme Court, foreign hot spots and fitness to be president -- with about 15 minutes allotted for each one. With 20 days to go until Election Day, the latest CBS News poll found Clinton has widened her lead. In a four-way race involving third-party candidates, Clinton now leads Trump by 9 percentage points -- 47 percent to 38 percent. In a two-way matchup, Clinton leads Trump by 11 percentage points -- 51 percent to 40 percent. Trump has spent the last few days denying allegations from a number of women that he engaged in sexual misconduct with them. He has also doubled down on his claim that the election is “rigged” and that there is large-scale voter fraud even though the evidence shows that it rarely occurs. His wife, Melania, spoke out for the first time since July this week in interviews with CNN and Fox News. She told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that she thinks her husband was “egged on” by “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush in the now famous 2005 video in which Trump is heard making lewd comments about women. Trump has also bashed Speaker Paul Ryan, who last week said he would no longer defend or campaign for Trump. And he has criticized “Saturday Night Lives” portrayal of him. Clinton has remained off the campaign trail the last few days to prep for the final debate. In addition to the WikiLeaks email dumps, the FBI released new documents Monday that showed a senior State Department official asked for the FBI’s help last year to change the classification level of an email from Hillary Clinton’s private server. www.cbsnews.com/news/the-final-presidential-debate-2016-what-time-how-to-watch-and-live-stream-online/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=30132089

apnews.com/tag/WhyItMatters Why It Matters: IRS WASHINGTON (AP) — THE ISSUE: The Internal Revenue Service touches everyone, not just taxpayers but anyone who receives a government check, drives on roads made possible by tax revenue or sends a child to a school helped by Washington. It's a touch that can come with a heavy hand, in the eyes of critics who believe the agency's far-reaching powers are abused and the agency needs to be cut down to size. WHERE THEY STAND: apnews.com/940bcaaad3c54148af212fc49fae793e/WHY-IT-MATTERS:-IRS______________ WHY IT MATTERS: VeteransWASHINGTON (AP) — THE ISSUE: There are an estimated 21.6 million veterans in the United States. Among them, nearly 9 million are enrolled in health care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs. About 4.3 million veterans get disability compensation from the VA and nearly 900,000 have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. A 2014 law signed by President Barack Obama aimed to alleviate delays many veterans faced in getting treatment at VA hospitals and clinics and end the widespread practice of fake wait lists that covered up long waits for veterans seeking health care. Two years later, many of the problems remain. WHERE THEY STAND: apnews.com/353266c4cf5d44b992676abf11c6b368/WHY-IT-MATTERS:-Veterans_______________ WHY IT MATTERS: AbortionNEW YORK (AP) — THE ISSUE: Persistent Republican-led efforts to restrict access to abortion and to curb government funding for Planned Parenthood have been hotly debated in Washington and in states, and will be shaped in some way by the next president. Democrat Hillary Clinton supports access to abortion and is an outspoken defender of Planned Parenthood, which is the largest provider of abortions in the U.S. and also offers other health services. WHERE THEY STAND: apnews.com/28972ddc5a0b40319a388bf59bae8c93/WHY-IT-MATTERS:-Abortion______________________ WHY IT MATTERS: Race and PolicingWASHINGTON (AP) — THE ISSUE: Policing in the United States' minority communities has been a flashpoint since the deaths of Michael Brown in Missouri, Tamir Rice in Ohio, Sandra Bland in Texas and others. The increasing number of graphic photos and videos depicting the deaths of black men, women and children at the hands of police officers has sparked unrest around the nation. The perception that law enforcement officers are rarely, if ever, punished for what some consider unethical behavior, brutality and even criminal acts against black Americans has led to the rise of new social and civil rights movements like Black Lives Matter.

The militant group slaughtered civilians in its march to try to establish a radical caliphate, and has spawned a string of deadly attacks across Europe, the Middle East and the United States.

The clash has consequences for the rich, poor and those in the middle.

That's nearly one in five Americans. The trustees who oversee Social Security say the program has enough money to pay full benefits until 2034. But at that point, Social Security will collect only enough taxes to pay 79 percent of benefits. Unless Congress acts, millions of people on fixed incomes would get an automatic 21 percent cut in benefits. Most older Americans rely on Social Security for a majority of their income.

OK, just WTH is going on?!
Before you listen to this guy, I think it is important for you to read about his background.....
Steve Pieczenik, MD, PhD (born December 7, 1943) is an American psychiatrist, former United States Department of State official, author, and publisher.
Pieczenik is a Harvard University-trained psychiatrist and has a doctorate in international relations from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Pieczenik was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance and James Baker. His expertise includes foreign policy, international crisis management and psychological warfare. He served the presidential administrations of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the capacity of deputy assistant secretary.
In 1974, Pieczenik joined the US State Department as a consultant to help in the restructuring of its Office for the Prevention of Terrorism.
In 1976, Pieczenik was made Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for management.
At the US State Department, he served as a "specialist on hostage taking". He has been credited with devising successful negotiating strategies and tactics used in several high-profile hostage situations, including the 1976 TWA Flight 355 hostage situation and the 1977 kidnapping of the son of Cyprus' president. He was involved in negotiations for the release of Aldo Moro after Moro was kidnapped. As a renowned psychiatrist, he was utilized as a press source for early information on the mental state of the hostages involved in the Iranian hostage crisis after they were freed. In 1977, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Mary McGrory described Stephen Pieczenik as "one of the most 'brilliantly competent' men in the field of terrorism". He worked "side by side" with Police Chief Maurice J. Cullinane in the Washington, D.C. command center of Mayor Walter Washington during the 1977 Hanafi Siege. In 1978, Pieczenik was known as "a psychiatrist and political scientist in the U.S. State Department whose credentials and experiences are probably unique among officials handling terrorist situations".
On September 17, 1978 the Camp David Accords were signed. Pieczenik was at the secret Camp David negotiations leading up to the signing of the Accords. He worked out strategy and tactics based on psychopolitical dynamics. He correctly predicted that given their common backgrounds, Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin would get along.
In 1979, he resigned as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State over the handling of the Iranian hostage crisis.
In the early 1980s, Pieczenik wrote an article for The Washington Post in which he claimed to have heard a senior US official in the State Department Operations Center give permission for the attack that led to the death of US Ambassador Adolph Dubs in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1979. Pieczenik got to know Syrian President Hafez Assad well during his 20 years in the US State Department.
In 1982, Pieczenik was mentioned in an article in The New York Times as "a psychiatrist who has treated C.I.A. employees".
In 2001, Pieczenik operated as chief executive officer of Strategic Intelligence Associates, a consulting firm.
Pieczenik has been affiliated in a professional capacity as a psychiatrist with the National Institute of Mental Health.
Pieczenik has consulted with the United States Institute of Peace and the RAND Corporation.
Pieczenik is fluent in five languages, including Russian, Spanish and French.
Pieczenik has lectured at the National Defense University.

thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/303943-jon-stewart-tears-into-trump-at-ny-eventNovember 02, 2016 Jon Stewart tears into Trump at NY eventBy Judy Kurtz / thehill.com/blogs/in-the-knowIt’s possible Jon Stewart misses his old job — or at least the part where he got to make fun of Donald Trump. The former “Daily Show” host repeatedly mocked the Republican presidential nominee at a Tuesday event, specifically scoffing at his claims that the system might be “rigged” against him. “Dude, you live in a tower with your name on it in gold,” Stewart said at a Stand Up for Heroes benefit in New York. “How well would you be doing if the man wasn’t keeping you down?” “I’m not in the game anymore. I’m not much of a political analyst,” Stewart told the crowd, according to CNN. “But if I could ask you a question that I’ve been saying to my television, it’s ‘What the f---?’ What the f--- is going on? What is happening?” Stewart, who stepped down from his hit Comedy Central show last year, expressed surprise that a tape from a 2005 “Access Hollywood” interview with Trump — in which the real estate mogul made lewd and aggressive remarks about women — didn’t hand the election to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton when it came to light last month. “I thought when a guy got off a bus and says, ‘I’m going to grab her on the p----,’ then OK, we’re done. The election is over. “Usually this is a signifier that we don’t have to pay attention anymore.” Stewart continued: “Then the FBI jumps in, and all of a sudden there’s a whole new thing the FBI’s investigating again. Why would they even jump in there? And then it goes back to Anthony Weiner?” “This is insane. … As a writer, honestly, the first woman president, and she’s taken down by Bush and Weiner — like, that’s just bad writing.” Stewart, 53, also recalled getting into a war of words with Trump in 2013. Stewart said the then-“Celebrity Apprentice” star tweeted that he was “overrated,” writing, “If Jon Stewart is so above it all and legit, why did he change his name from Jon Leibowitz? he should be proud of his heritage.” “So I start to think to myself, oh, I think this guy is trying to let people know I’m a Jew,” Stewart said, before quipping, “And I think to myself, doesn’t my face do that?” Stewart added: “It would be funny If it wasn’t so toxically crude and horrible. So I decide to tweet back at him: ‘Many people don’t know this, but Donald Trump’s real name is F----face Von Clownstick. I wish you would embrace the Von Clownstick heritage.’” “You remember, by the way, Lincoln used to get into this s--- all the time with people,” Stewart said to laughs, a recording of the comedian’s remarks posted on YouTube shows. Stewart ended his comments by telling the audience, “Vote wisely this Nov. 8.” thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/303943-jon-stewart-tears-into-trump-at-ny-event

OK, just WTH is going on?!
Before you listen to this guy, I think it is important for you to read about his background.....
Steve Pieczenik, MD, PhD (born December 7, 1943) is an American psychiatrist, former United States Department of State official, author, and publisher.
Pieczenik is a Harvard University-trained psychiatrist and has a doctorate in international relations from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Pieczenik was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance and James Baker. His expertise includes foreign policy, international crisis management and psychological warfare. He served the presidential administrations of Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the capacity of deputy assistant secretary.
In 1974, Pieczenik joined the US State Department as a consultant to help in the restructuring of its Office for the Prevention of Terrorism.
In 1976, Pieczenik was made Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for management.
At the US State Department, he served as a "specialist on hostage taking". He has been credited with devising successful negotiating strategies and tactics used in several high-profile hostage situations, including the 1976 TWA Flight 355 hostage situation and the 1977 kidnapping of the son of Cyprus' president. He was involved in negotiations for the release of Aldo Moro after Moro was kidnapped. As a renowned psychiatrist, he was utilized as a press source for early information on the mental state of the hostages involved in the Iranian hostage crisis after they were freed. In 1977, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Mary McGrory described Stephen Pieczenik as "one of the most 'brilliantly competent' men in the field of terrorism". He worked "side by side" with Police Chief Maurice J. Cullinane in the Washington, D.C. command center of Mayor Walter Washington during the 1977 Hanafi Siege. In 1978, Pieczenik was known as "a psychiatrist and political scientist in the U.S. State Department whose credentials and experiences are probably unique among officials handling terrorist situations".
On September 17, 1978 the Camp David Accords were signed. Pieczenik was at the secret Camp David negotiations leading up to the signing of the Accords. He worked out strategy and tactics based on psychopolitical dynamics. He correctly predicted that given their common backgrounds, Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin would get along.
In 1979, he resigned as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State over the handling of the Iranian hostage crisis.
In the early 1980s, Pieczenik wrote an article for The Washington Post in which he claimed to have heard a senior US official in the State Department Operations Center give permission for the attack that led to the death of US Ambassador Adolph Dubs in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1979. Pieczenik got to know Syrian President Hafez Assad well during his 20 years in the US State Department.
In 1982, Pieczenik was mentioned in an article in The New York Times as "a psychiatrist who has treated C.I.A. employees".
In 2001, Pieczenik operated as chief executive officer of Strategic Intelligence Associates, a consulting firm.
Pieczenik has been affiliated in a professional capacity as a psychiatrist with the National Institute of Mental Health.
Pieczenik has consulted with the United States Institute of Peace and the RAND Corporation.
Pieczenik is fluent in five languages, including Russian, Spanish and French.
Pieczenik has lectured at the National Defense University.
It's pretty much self explanatory

Stiffed
The Trump Campaign Is Allegedly Dodging $767k Polling Bill Donald Trump has bragged about retroactively stiffing workers if he believes they’ve “done a job that’s not good.” Tony Fabrizio is alleging he’s doing that for his polling work during the campaign.

10.31.16
Donald Trump has been stiffing contractors his entire career. But he's not even waiting until the election is over to stiff those who are working for his campaign.
Trump's latest campaign financial disclosures show that it is disputing close to $767,000 that its pollster, Tony Fabrizio, says his is owed for work done on the campaign. The conflict is just the latest sign of internal turmoil that has long rocked Trump's organization, and could be the prelude to yet another Trump lawsuit.
"This is one of the largest disputed campaign debts I have seen, though perhaps the debt’s size should be of little surprise given the fact that Mr. Trump has managed to incrementally grow his inherited fortune by stiffing contractors and taxpayers all along the way," said Republican campaign finance attorney Matthew Sanderson.
Trump has a long history of stiffing those who work for him. His self-professed philosophy has often been to withhold payment if he isn’t entirely satisfied with the work.
"Given [Trump’s] history of not paying vendors, and his statement that if they haven't done adequate work he's not going to pay them, it's not surprising to see in his campaign that he would have a contested debt,” said Lawrence Noble, the general counsel of the Campaign Legal Center. “From his previous statements, he seems to think that's a very valid way to do business, if he's not happy with a vendor: to not pay them.”
A USA Today analysis found that Trump has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past thirty years, and that a large number of these lawsuits relate to people who believe Trump and his companies have failed to pay up.
In the past decade, his companies have been cited 24 times for violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Those same companies have been subject to more than 200 liens filed by contractors and employees who said they were stiffed for their work.
“Let’s say that they do a job that’s not good, or a job that they didn’t finish, or a job that was way late. I’ll deduct from their contract, absolutely,” Trump told the newspaper. “That’s what the country should be doing.”
Recent reports have suggested tension between Fabrizio and now-campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, as well as a feeling within the Trump organization that some, such as Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, do not believe Fabrizio's focus groups are necessary. Neither the Trump campaign nor Fabrizio responded to a request for comment.
Whatever the case, Trump has found himself in a position with leverage to stiff Fabrizio’s polling firm and other campaign contractors.
“Trump can’t close down his campaign until the debt is resolved, but there’s no deadline for that, so he can hypothetically continue to file regular FEC reports ad nauseam until Fabrizio agrees to accept less,” explained Jordan Libowitz, a spokesman for the left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
“Mr. Trump may be pursuing the Newt Gingrich style of campaigning, which is a strategy of stringing along the various small businesses working for your election only to leave them holding the bag at the end of the day,” quipped Sanderson, the Republican pollster.
The timing of this contested debt is unusual—most contractors to political campaigns usually wait until after the elections to settle up, and the fact that it has been listed in public records before Election Day suggests an even more troubled road ahead.
"What's unusual about this is that it's happening before the election. Normally these kinds of things are dealt with after the election,” Noble said. "The fact that they're listing it as a contested debt may mean they're getting pressure from the vendor to pay up, and the vendor's next step may be to sue the campaign if they don't reach a settlement.”

www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/magazine/when-hillary-and-donald-were-friends.html?partner=msft_msn&_r=0When Hillary and Donald Were FriendsThe story of their transactional relationship offers a window on rarefied New York.By MAUREEN DOWD / www.nytimes.com/column/maureen-dowd?action=click&contentCollection=Magazine&module=Byline®ion=Header&pgtype=articleNOV. 2, 2016 The sensational, spidery plot of the most gripping game of thrones in modern history is best captured by two images. The first is from Donald J. Trump’s extravagant third wedding at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2005: The junior senator from New York, glowing in gold silk and pearls, smiles up at the mogul in white tie with genuine delight as he says something that cracks up Hillary, Bill and Trump’s bejeweled bride, Melania. Donald and Hillary look “just like teenagers in love” in the flashbulb moment, as David Patrick Columbia, the editor of the website New York Social Diary, notes dryly. The second, more sinister image is from the St. Louis presidential debate last month: A Tang-colored Trump looms behind Hillary like a horror-movie fiend as she makes a point, while three of Trump’s guests in the front row, women who accused Bill of sexual assault, give her the stink eye and Chelsea and Bill sit nearby looking grim. What a difference a decade makes: from a Babylonian celebration, with Hillary and Bill cozying up to Donald, to a seething face-off, with Donald summoning ghosts from Bill’s scandalous past and threatening to throw Hillary in the clink if he’s elected. We are in the final days of the first presidential contest between two New Yorkers in 72 years, since Thomas Dewey ran against Franklin D. Roosevelt: The 42-year-old Republican governor of New York used a Trump-style attack on the 62-year-old Democratic president, calling him “a tired old man.” On election night, the party and the wake will both be held in Manhattan. Hillary will hold hers at the Javits Convention Center, with its literal glass ceiling and, as The Times’s campaign reporter Maggie Haberman noted, an air of trolling: Back in the late 1970s, Trump wanted to build the center and slap the Trump name on it, but the city refused. In this historically dreadful and mesmerizing election, which could lead to the death of the Republican Party and the ideological makeover of the Democratic Party, the New York aspect has been largely overshadowed. Only Lin-Manuel Miranda made a point of highlighting it, on “Saturday Night Live,” urging people to take their minds off the crazy election by coming to “Hamilton”: “It’s about two famous New York politicians locked in a dirty, ugly, mudslinging political campaign. Escapism!” In the “single compact arena” of New York, E.B. White wrote, a gladiator and a promoter can come together in a city vibrating with great undertakings. “These two names, for the last two or three decades, represent what has been incredible and vulgar about this country at the same time,” says the Manhattan ad man and television personality Donny Deutsch. “We can trace our downfalls or upticks as a society through them.” The story of how Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton rose and reinvented themselves and embraced and brawled is the story of New York itself. It is a tale of power, influence, class, society and ambition that might have intrigued Edith Wharton, whose family once owned a grand home down the block from what is now Trump Tower. The Clintons started their move to New York from Washington in 2000, so Hillary could pursue her bid for the United States Senate and fly on her own after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She had never lived in New York, but carpetbagging was no sin to cosmopolitan New Yorkers, who embraced Bobby Kennedy when he decamped from Massachusetts and suburban Washington in 1964, so she looked North to Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s Senate seat. When they arrived, the Clintons found a lot of raw nerve endings among the moneyed elite, who were bitterly divided following Bush v. Gore. Although wealthy Democrats and Republicans in New York have largely united around Hillary this time, business executives were more suspicious of Gore than they were of the Clintons. In those days, Democrats were complaining that the election had been stolen from them, and Republicans were whinging that it had almost been stolen from them. Hillary knew she should not be seen as a Manhattan insider, so just as Bobby chose Long Island as his base, she chose Westchester. She recast herself as a Yankees-loving New Yorker in the city and a Chicago-born daughter of the Great Lakes when she campaigned upstate. New York — and being a senator in the horrific aftermath of 9/11 — would change Hillary. “It toughened her up,” says Senator Charles Schumer of New York. “She’s harder-nosed about things. Life did that, but New York did, too.” Bill also needed a reinvention. After the impeachment and the Marc Rich pardon, he was in bad odor. He had to abandon plans to rent lavish offices for their foundation in Carnegie Hall Tower for almost $800,000 a year after critics pounced. He moved instead into offices in Harlem for $210,000 a year. The mulligan-loving ex-president was snubbed by four of the prestigious Westchester County golf clubs he reportedly tried to join. As Trump marveled to me at the time: “Now Clinton can’t get into golf clubs in Westchester. A former president begging to get in a golf club. It’s unthinkable.” Bill started an elaborate campaign to improve his image, making speeches at colleges and enlisting former cabinet members and other surrogates to talk up his legacy. Once Bill moved up in public estimation, he moved downtown with the foundation. CONTINUE READING: www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/magazine/when-hillary-and-donald-were-friends.html?partner=msft_msn&_r=0
